Diet and Foraging

Diet

Spiny-faced Antshrike is insectivorous, but its diet is not known in any detail. Whitney and Rosenberg (1993) suspected than it primarily takes small arthropods, as they never were able to any see "anything more than tiny legs on any of the items captured". Christian (2001) observed adults provisioning nestlings with caterpillars (larval Lepidoptera).
